Posted: 17:48 - 08 Dec 2022 Post subject: Another electric vehicle thread. I know, boring but..... |
|

I'm not a great lover of electrification of vehicles but understand the reasoning why they are at the moment the defacto power plant of future cars and bikes.
There is the green thinking but also the bad side of the equation with where the electricity comes from and how the constituants of specifically the battery are mined. I'm not sure what I was expecting with the mining operations. Relativly small operations I think because I had heard that children were used in the mining process. Snippets like that.
Then this popped up on my feed.
The dirty road to clean energy: how China’s electric vehicle boom is ravaging the environment

I know there are two sides to every story and if we are to save the planet, maybe we have to bite the bullet when getting the products needed for batteries but I never ever thought it would be like it's shown in theis article. Almost up there with logging in the Amazon. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

It will all depend on the scale of availabilty and use of electric vehicles. If everyone who currently has a car gets one, it'll be pointless from a "saving the planet" point of view. But is that the intention? As with many things in politics these days, I don't think we're getting all of the discussion presented to us from governments and mainstream outlets.
I rather think they're looking at a future where most will work from home (producing what?) and travel will be otherwise much restricted. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

It's not why I did a spate of touring a few years ago, but it does make me even more glad I did. Future generations are not going to be seeing the world methinks! ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Just tacked on here, and yes, it's the Sun................
Electric car hell as owners call for new rules following ‘Charge Rage’ and Teslas queue for three hours
Just a one off due to the time of year or an infrastructure not up to the job even now with just a small number of electric cars around?

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 1 year, 90 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
